Is fluctuation in tip swelling normal after 6 months from surgery date?

: Tip swelling after rhinoplasty: tip swelling and the accumulation of scar issue persists for many many months post surgery. With average skin thickness it generally takes about a year to see the final tip. With thick skin it takes even longer. Along the way to the final result there will be days where the tip appears more swollen, and days when it appears less swollen. sleeping with your face down may lead to more swelling when you get up in the morning. A large salt intake such as a very large Chinese food meal may lead to more swelling. in females the nose may swell slightly more when they are premenstrual. These are just a few of the factors which will fluctuate from day today during the healing phase. So it is normal to see variations from better days to worst days.

It takes longer than 1 year for rhinoplasty result to settle and mature. This particularely applies to tip and supratip areas. Taping overnight and, if needed, corticosteroid injection may help. Try to be patient. Hope this helps.

Hello! Thank you for your question. From the question you ask I can say that if you have thick skin, the final result maybe occur after 1,5 years. It totally up to your skin. The swellings can be different day by day. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!
